Lois Schneider Realtor Wishes You and Yours a Very

Happy Thanksgiving!

35 years ago, Lois made the decision to go against the grain of big mergers and franchising in the real estate business; and instead, focused on a business with just one office and just one mission: superb service. And Lois has stayed true to that mission for 35 years, maintaining an agency rooted in market knowledge and first-class service. Lois has taken her business savvy and her steadfast commitment to excellent service and combined it with that one other thing she knows so well–that one thing that makes real estate the perfect business for her–a sense of “home.”

Her sense of home is evident in what she has created with her husband Al, and has grown over the years to include her children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter. It is seen in her role as “head of the household” at LSR, where she has fostered the atmosphere of home from the way she decorates the office all the way through the way in which she treats her agents and staff as members of her extended family.   Lois’s commitment  to home moves outward to the community as well, where she believes that the members of a community, much like the members of a family, are responsible for each other. She believes that lending a helping hand, in a respectful manner, is the way to build a strong, vibrant society, and she insists on doing her part.  And finally, but most importantly, Lois takes great pride in bringing that sense of home to her clients. She knows that this business is about more than buying or selling a “house”; it is about sharing the excitement of opening the door to the perfect place to start building memories, and it’s about anticipating the emotions of closing the door when it is time to move on. That is why Lois has proven to be a perfect fit for the real estate world; because at the very heart of it all, it is about home.

The real estate business has changed a great deal in 35 years, and Lois Schneider Realtor has weathered the storms, faced the challenges, and gained the experience to continue to move ahead and navigate the current market. And in the end, after all, it is still about home. And there is no place like it.

So tonight, the “family” of Lois Schneider Realtor will celebrate home, and will celebrate the head of our household, Lois Schneider. Here’s to a remarkable 35 years. We are proud and honored to be a part of it. Congratulations to you, Lois!!!

Every year, more than 21,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer Of those women, 15,000 will not survive. However, if detected early, the five-year survival rate is greater than 90%. That is why it is so important to develop a method to screen for tumors, and identify them early. This is a key component to improving survival rates, and this is why we are proud to support such a important organization and such an important cause.

Tickets can be pre-purchased for $40 at Lois Schneider Realtor, at the gift shop at Overlook Hospital, or by visiting www.ohaux.org. Tickets will also be available the day of the tour for $45. The seven state-of-the-art kitchens will be open from 10 am – 3 pm.

Here’s just a sampling of the weekend’s events:

Friday will feature a Career Day at Summit High School, which will be open to alumni, and will be followed by guided tours of the school once classes are dismissed.  Friday will also feature the Women’s Tennis Team taking on Westfield, a pre-game tailgate party at Tatlock Park. Then fire up the “Friday Night Lights” and bring on the highlight of the weekend–the Hilltoppers will host the Highlanders of Governor Livingston High School–and kickoff is at 7 pm. End the evening at the post-game party at the Hat Tavern in the Grand Summit Hotel, or perhaps go stargazing with the Astronomy Club in Upper Tatlock Park.

The weather is supposed to be lovely on Saturday–perfect for a round of golf at the Summit Municipal Golf Course (space is limited, please call 908-343-2122 to check availability). The weather will also be perfect for a “Four Centuries In A Weekend” historical tour throughout Union County, featuring sites in Summit and surrounding towns. Also scheduled: a Centennial Garden Dedication at Brayton School, lunch at Towne Deli, Varsity Girls and Boys Soccer games, tour of Summit High School, SHS Student exhibitions and performances, and SHS Alumni Reunion parties.

Sunday will bring the weekend to a close with the Hilltopper Alumni Brunch at the Broadway Diner at 10:30 am and the YMCA 5K Walk/Run at 1 pm.

Sounds as if there will be something for everyone! And as always, Lois Schneider Realtor is proud to support our Hilltoppers and we are pleased to welcome returning alumni and guests to our wonderful community.

Fast on the heels of the Tuesday’s East Coast Earthquake, the Northeast is hunkering down for what might be yet another significant blow from Mother Nature. According to weather.com’s computer models, Hurricane Irene is currently blowing through the Bahamas and is now a major threat for the East Coast. The recommendation is that anyone along the coast from North Carolina through New England should be preparing for some serious weather.

The American Red Cross has provided the following Safety Checklist as a guide for Hurricane Preparedness. At Lois Schneider Realtor, we are gathering up our flashlights, batteries, water and first aid kits (just to be safe)–and maybe we’ll grab a deck of card and a few board games, just for fun!  Stay safe, stay dry, and stay prepared!
